The partnership with UUM provides further evidence of the growing appetite for CMI accreditation around the globe. It is great to see universities such as UUM sharing our aspiration of increasing the number and standard of professionally qualified managers which in turn will have a significant impact on the region’s future economic growth. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with UUM which will generate a positive impact for the university, their students and CMI.
